Her Hurry-Up Husband ~Tanya Hanson

A beautiful socialite needs a husband fast—for just one
month—but the handsome rancher wants a wife for life!

A quick peak at my latest release and the brand new
anthology, Lassoing a Mail-Order Bride!

I hope you like Elspeth and Hezekiah’s love story!

BLURB:

Prim and proper socialite Elspeth Maroney flees from an
indiscretion to the Wild West of Colorado as a mail order bride. She doesn’t
plan to stay long, only a month. Rancher Hezekiah Steller needs a wife quick to
get himself an heir, but despite his rush, nerves rattle. What will the stagecoach deliver to his doorstep?

Their worlds collide deliciously until Ellie must confess her mistakes. Will
Hez still want her tomorrow?

For a quick second,
Hezekiah considered jumping on the train and riding it to Utah. The iron bench
he sat on was harder than any boulder, colder than a long night in a line
shack. What had he done?

His heart thumped so
hard it hurt and all but broke a rib when the woman departing the train came
into eyeshot

.

A woman wrapped in a
black cloak like a bat closing its wings. A woman with hair so white she could
have been the snow queen in a fairy tale. And so old she could have mothered
Methuselah.

Good Lord, had the
telegraph operator in Omaha meant 91, not 21?

The conductor gently
loaded her onto the platform, and Hez prayed for death.

“Great granny? Great
granny?”

A herd of Hunsakers
ran from behind their worn-out wagon, all nine of ’em grabbing the old lady
close. Life returned to Hez’s bloodstream.

But his heart stopped
again when he heard the conductor call out his name.

“Hezekiah Steller?
This lady’s looking for you.”

It was happening for
real. Hez, heart stopped, plodded forward like he was that old woman’s man.
Until the conductor pulled another female outside and unwrapped the long linen
duster passengers wore to keep away the coal dust.

Beneath the grimy coat
stepped his bride. Like an angel bursting forth from a bank of clouds. Like a
dream coming true. Her beauty astonished him; her tiny waist brought on sweet
relief. And Hez realized his life would never be the same. Realized he just
might never breath normal again.

Tanya, sorry it took me so long to get here today. It's been one of those crazy days for me! Anyhow, I just wanted to tell you again how much I enjoyed Her Hurry-Up Husband! Can't wait to see what happens to Ellie's sister! Cheryl

Prairie Rose Publications

Welcome to PRAIRIE ROSE PUBLICATIONS

PRP is a publishing company devoted to publishing westerns and western romances written by women.

PRAIRIE ROSE PUBLICATIONS was opened in August, 2013, by LIVIA J. WASHBURN and CHERYL PIERSON, two authors who saw a need for such an imprint. Usually, when people think “westerns” they think of male authors and male readers—but that’s not true in today’s world. Many women are just as interested in reading—and writing—westerns as their male counterparts; and of course, western romance has always been popular among the ladies!
